Second Post for the Year

YUp! THis is my second post . I am thinking of seriously reviving the bLog . It is not that I have much time on my hand but I miss blogging. Heh.

I had a great aftenoon today. I have been working my butts off the past months and am in need of some 'me' time. I haven't even had time to visit the gym . Obviously , I can feel all the flabs forming. Oh gosh!

Oh yes, I went for my facial treatment today. I don't like to recommend things to people because I always fear that they may not have the same sentiments of the products or services recommended by me. However, I urge ladies (and men!) out there to give Bioskin a shot , if you are thinking of starting / changing ur facial packages.

I have tried treaments at other locations; FIL, Vanilla, Mary Chia...but I Swear that Bioskin is the best! I have been with them since 2003, when I just entered the working force. I don't think I would ever switch loyalty. Heh...yeay, I find them THAT good. Painless yet effective ...and my whole TEN fingers UP for their services. The only thing they might want to improve is to ensure that all their front-desk consultants speak good English. Most are alright actually ... but I did encounter one whereby I could hardly understand what she was saying....

Again, as always, I digress.

So, do check them out ! Visit www.bioskin.com.sg for a breakdown of their available services...

I have been busy since the new year started. I was not looking forward to the new year... because that means getting to know new students , missing my previous lovable form class and ...the fact that I am older.

The past month had definitely been one of the busiest and I have no idea why. The school introduced many new initiatives - too many in my opinion. Not that they are not necessary, but all of them came at one time. It was hellish trying to remember , what's more, trying to cope with all the demands. I am still trying to balance work , family , health .. among many other things.

I did not make any resolutions because they are pretty pointless - I somehow just never got around to fulfilling them. However, I like to make goals . It feels good to tick them off as I achieve them.

I have some in mind .... only a few. Difficult goals to achieve for the moment but I really hope and pray I can. And I have one wish .

A wish I want more than anything else.

I want a complete family.

I really hope that is not too much to ask for. With God's will, I hope that will happen.

Oh wow !

It has been super duper long since I last updated the blog *dust dust cobwebs*.

I don't know what triggered today's entry but well, no harm done.

It's the 8th day of Ramadhan and our second Ramadhan together. Alhamdulillah. Life has been great, although there were some down moment on my part. I pray for many more Ramadhans with him. I just hope that we would be able to do terawih more diligently. It is difficult to go to the mosque on weekdays due to the hectic work schedule . So , most of the weekdays, it's a home terawih . Just the two of us. Which I still love :)

If I were to update on all the past year's events, there are just too many to be mentioned. But one thing I must update, is how attached I have grown to my darling MONTEL . MY nephew. I will start missing him when I don't see him after a few days and thus, I always make up excuses to just drop by mum's place. Padahal...I just want to play with him , bring him down for a walk....I think he also loves me lah... hehehe...he always gets excited when he sees me.

I hope that God answers our prayers and give us our own Montel soon. Insyaallah.... e maternal instincts are just too obvious to ignore!

I am not sure when would be the next time I'll update this blog. Let's hope it won't be next year . LOL .

Time to do my Saturday's routine of housework. Ciao!

I have been rather quiet the past two hours. Hubby is just next to me , making a lot of noise while trying to finish up his CCA report. But I have not talked to him at all.

I am feeling melancholic. Or sad. Or just plain oblivious.

I think it is because of this coming Friday. The day when I'll see students again. The start of yet another year ahead , which would be full of projects , work and horrible , disgusting eyebags. I wouldn't say that I am not motivated to start work again ..just that ... I dun know... I think almost all teachers can emphatise with me at the moment.

On a happier note, I had a wonderful time with my ex-colleagues yesterday. It was kind of a last-minute decision to invite them over for lunch at my crib.BUt I sure am glad that we went thru it. I think ( no , I am EXTREMELY sure ) that no one regretted coming. I was really happy to be able to spend time chatting, gossipping , eating and laughing with them. Even the other half mentioned that I was glowing. We took numerous photos at the end of the day and I ( shamelessly ) admit that I looked good without any make - up ..because I was radiating with happiness....hahhaa...gosh ...I wish I am going back to sch , with them around me.

I shall try to perk myself up... I shall I shall....

It has been 2 mths or so since my last update.

It's the sch hols now which ,unfortunately though, will be ending in abt 2 weeks. Stupid shit lah . I seriously dun feel like going back to sch and face all those works again. NOt that I hate doing it but I somehow am getting used to the idea of staying at home . . :P

Anyway, I've got a nephew now. Yes , I am officially an auntie . haha. The baby's name is Mustaqim. He is so cute , so adorable and so so so fat now. I can never get enuff of him and keep snapping pictures of him whenever I go back to mummy's place. At home, I'll repeatedly look at his photos and talk abt him. Husby has even expressed his "jealousy" over my slight obsession. Haha...but husby darling , u know that u r the only man in my life ...:P

On the other hand, perhaps, it is just my maternal instinct that has kicked in. I have , on numerous ocassions, imagined having my own baby , cradling it to sleep , watching it grow...I have even talked to husby many times on how I picture life to be or how I would set rules and all that so that my future child will be nurtured well.We have even thought of some possible names, and it sometimes sends chill down my spine whenever I think of the possibility of not being able to get pregnant and all. At the moment, we are just letting nature takes its course. Insyallah , if God wills it , we would have a child to call our own. Hopefully, soon.

So .... it has been an eventful yr end hols. My darling underwent a knee surgery in mid-NOv and was pretty immobile for almost a month . He is now walking on crutches and it will probably take him another month or so to be able to walk as per normal. Kesian my sayang.... I couldn't imagine the pain he went thru in the initial days . Just lying on the sofa bed and not being able to move much must be one tough task for him as he had always been a very active person. Well, on one hand , he gets all the rest he deserves after all the work throughout the year.... otherwise, I can still imagine him working his butt off...CCA lah , meetings lah , SOW lah , Planning lah....

As for me, I think I kinda like it. Of course not the fact that he can't move and all. But I have grown accustomed to the fact that I wake up, attend to his needs, cook , do housework , chat with him , kiss him , hug him , kiss him again , hug again...dot dot dot !!! ( think Mamma Mia ... hehhee ) .. Well, some pple might have commented that it is really unfortunate that I am not able to go out and enjoy my hols, go on a trip or sthg before sch starts. On the contrary, I think this particular episode has brought me even closer to my husband. I am grateful to be able to be there for him in his time of needs and in a way , I feel myself improving as a wife.Insyaallah. I am now doing things that I never thought I would or be able to ... It may seem trivial to others but I have always, honestly, suffered from some kind of inferiority complex. I often thought very small of myself and had always been very afraid that I can never be a gd wife. Like stated, it is easy for a wife to go to heaven if she performs her wifey and religious duties faithfully. I am far from the target but at least now, I feel that I am able to do it, given more time. Insyaallah.

No one reads my blog anymore, I think . But I dun care. It feels good to ocassionally pen down my thoughts and feelings.

If u , my darling Husby, happens to read this anytime at all... I just want to say that you are a wonderful husband. May God bless you in this world and thereafter . You deserve the best and I hope I would be able to take care of you all your life. I love you , sayang.
